"what show?"[break][break]

but he imagines he's not going to get an answer now.[break][break]

he glances down at his shoulder, at the tree, then flicks his gaze back up to her before nodding.[break][break]

"i did."[break][break]

deadpan in his expression, he sighs.[break][break]

"i don't have anything on me that can free me without the risk of snapping my arm off."

too easily, danny slips into his comfort zone, dropping his guard entirely.[break][break]

"it was alright. nothing special. i think they do iced coffee better than hot so that's on me. should've read the reviews."[break][break]

he chuckles, forgetting the tenseness that once existed between them just mere minutes ago.[break][break]

"do you want one?"

[attr="class","pkspr pkmn-dedenne"]

sorry, too busy.[break][break]

well, that's that, then. guess danny's going to die standing, stuck to this random tree on route one-one-five because there's absolutely no way he's texting anyone else. it's already embarrassing enough to have asked kat.[break][break]

but, to his surprise, she changes her mind. and after another good amount of time waiting, she finally shows up.[break][break]

"hello there, kat. you're looking lovely as ever."[break][break]

suave talk coming from an idiot with his shoulder and arm stuck to a tree.[break][break]

"it's good to know you simply couldn't stand the idea of me being in trouble."

danny laughs as well and it's one that's genuine and pure — something he hasn't experienced in a very long time. since joining rocket, even.

"you could say that."

briefly, danny wonders if he should be sharing more considering the psychic-type's presence. he could turn around and see it t-posing on them, maybe. but fuck it.

"i was out with another friend and she didn't like how close we were."

he reaches for another shot, holding it between his fingers for a moment before laughing again.

"careful, bro, she might end up going after you."

shot.

a perfect circle...

"same! i think i actually watched a movie recently that had something like this."

danny has to speak louder to combat against the strong winds. but he gets his point across...he hopes.

the fact that it's a perfect circle is weird. if it's man-made, he'd expect it to be a little bit skewed. but no, it's perfect.

"snap a pic and we can get out of here!"

"a gardevoir?"

it takes danny a second.

"oh! yeah, that's serena's. she's had it following me around for a while now."

serenity, if he recalls correctly.

he shrugs a shoulder, relatively indifferent to the psychic-type's constant presence in his life.

"kinda nuts, if you ask me. but whatever helps her i guess."

"you saved enough."[break][break]

more than enough, really. but danny isn't going to push any further simply because he doesn't know what awaits him on the other side. nothing good, he imagines.[break][break]

a sip of his coffee brings him to the bottom of his cup.[break][break]

"well...i'm all out of coffee."[break][break]

so, what now?

what a stupid way to get stuck to a tree. not that there are smart ways to get stuck to a tree.[break][break]

nothing life threatening but i need ur help pls[break][break]

he also shares his live gps location with her. this is the first time he's done this but it didn't seem to matter in the past. is he quite easy to find in general?[break][break]

for now, he leans against a tree, waiting, whistling, hoping she shows up.

perhaps danny should have realized that the war might be a sensitive topic for anyone involved. he doesn't, so he sees no problems with continuing the conversation.[break][break]

"mmm, give yourself a little more credit, professor."[break][break]

he pulls his cup of coffee closer to him.[break][break]

"from what i've read, a lot of people wouldn't be here if not for you."
